[sage-support] Re: I was using sage-3.1.4 upgrade to 3.4 and have memory issues
Hi, first I want to thank you for your fast help and appropriate answering to my e-mail, I am sending this to tell you what finally happen with my sage-vmware upgrade. a) I tried to install again sage-3.4 making the changes to memsize in sage_vmx.vmx but this did not work at all, the behavior was the same that the previous one. b) I tried with the other available build download sage-3.2.3, changing also the memsize as you suggest, and I have now the sage again at work. So I am pretty much happy than last saturday, and this would be my solution meanwhile I upgrade my laptop, but ... c) What now concerns me is that I was reading another e-mail of someone with as much as 3GB of ram who could not put vmware sage-3.4 to work, showing the same behavior I have reported previously. Perhaps as William suggest that vmware build is broken.

William Edit the file sage_vmx.vmx and change the line that says memsize=512 to memsize=300 or some other smaller number (between say 200 and 324).

2009/4/18 Jorge E. ´Sanchez Sanchez hnr...@hotmail.com: I hope you can help me to recover my sage-usability, I was working with a sage-vmware-3.1.4 installation on a windows XP host with 512MB RAM without any problem, I recently upgrade to the last build version 3.4, but as far as I gave the notebook login, it killed the notebook and restart automatically again the login option connections, so I played a little with the configuration of the VMware troubleshooting arrangement of memory trying to fix this problem, but still without accomplishing to put it to work at all. So I went back, to install the previous version available in the download page: sage-vmware-3.2.3, it worked for a while but very slowly all the time, after that when I tried to run sage_vmx.vmx, the VMware console sent a complaining message like not enough memory for running the given virtual machine and suggest that restarting the host if the VM was working previously will fix the problem, I tried that many times, but still sage cannot restart as told. Edit the file sage_vmx.vmx and change the line that says memsize=512 to memsize=300 or some other smaller number (between say 200 and 324).
